Description

An exact solution of Einstein field equations corresponding to viscous fluid and heat flux is derived. The solution describes a rotating spatially homogeneous Bianchi II universe containing viscous fluid and heat flow. In the model, the shear scalar and the expansion scalar are linearly related. Also a linear relation between the shear viscosity coefficient and the scalar of expansion is assumed. Some physical and kinematical features of the model have been explored. Some interesting particular cases are also discussed. (author). 12 refs
